Mysterious Revival

The terror of this eerie old woman is beyond imagination. As a ghost tamer, Zhou Deng was merely approaching and was subjected to inexplicable supernatural erosion, on the verge of being erased. Moreover, while erasing Zhou Deng, a blurred figure appeared again by his side.

It’s as if it’s swiftly invading reality from some supernatural space.

Once Zhou Deng is erased, a second old woman will appear once more.

If we can’t deal with one, let alone two.

If this situation arises, everyone here will definitely be wiped out; there’s no other possibility.

Leuk Qingqing had previous experience with the Room 301 supernatural event, so she unhesitatingly rushed forward to pull Zhou Deng back.

The bright red qipao shielded against the influence, and she successfully dragged Zhou Deng back.

Zhou Deng’s face bore a Human Skin Mask. With the change in his identity, he transformed into a vengeful ghost.

He possessed the characteristics of a vengeful ghost.

Unable to be killed.

Erasure, halted.

The blurred figure finally dissipated, and the grayish complexion on Zhou Deng’s face gradually recovered.

Although the erasure process caused no pain and left no physical imperfections, the feeling as if disappearing from this world left a lingering fear.

“How did this ghost lock onto me? Just being close, would it attack? That can’t be it, when the bus stalled and we got off, it didn’t kill anyone.” Zhou Deng, initially panicked, quickly calmed down and began analyzing the situation.

“There must be certain conditions as a prerequisite, proximity is just one aspect.”

He tried to analyze the killing pattern of this vengeful ghost.

Why does this ghost selectively erase me and not everyone who comes near?

This point is crucial.

If identified, it could potentially prevent being killed by this vengeful ghost.

But time is pressing, fearing there isn’t enough to analyze slowly.

“An untouchable vengeful ghost, existing at a past time point, can we truly deal with this ghost?” Li Yang, holding a blood-stained wooden mallet, appeared anxious.

He initially intended to make a move.

But Zhou Deng’s situation immediately discouraged this idea.

No supernatural power can touch the vengeful ghost, so this last supernatural item also had no chance to be used.

Meanwhile, Yang Jian had already escaped the ghost’s restraint through a reboot and successfully seized the cracked long spear.

Although recapturing the supernatural weapon, it did not bring a sense of relief.

Because.

The ghost had turned around.

The lifeless, basket-carrying, heavily wrinkled old man was now facing Yang Jian.

Like most vengeful ghosts, those ashen eyes were numb and vacant, devoid of any spark.

“Trigger the medium, once again.”

Yang Jian knew he couldn’t touch this vengeful ghost, but the Firewood Knife was different; it triggered the medium, chopping the medium, regardless of the ghost’s presence or absence, the result remained the same.

But triggering the medium for this vengeful ghost was extremely dangerous.

Yet, he still did it without hesitation.

The Ghost Shadow wavered, directly spreading across the ground.

Though the ghost doesn’t exist now, it left footprints on this ground. Whether it’s because this yellow dirt path is special, or because this vengeful ghost influences reality too thoroughly, it barely differs from having a corporeal body.

Immediately.

Yang Jian’s vision shifted, a strange old man’s figure emerged before him.

The medium appeared.

Incredibly, the old man in the medium differed completely from other vengeful ghosts’ mediums, suddenly twisting its neck and staring intently at Yang Jian, seemingly breaching some supernatural barrier.

It’s here!

Yang Jian was targeted by the old man in the medium, the attack formed as expected.

He was being erased.

He had no second doll in hand now, and the first doll had already absorbed a previous attack, rendering it unusable a second time.

Thus, the attack from the old man’s medium required Yang Jian to withstand it alone.

His body was rapidly losing color, turning black and white, grayish, losing its reality, as if vanishing from this world, while the old man in the medium grew clearer, manifesting before his eyes.

This manifestation wasn’t solely visible to Yang Jian; others could see it too.

“What’s Yang Jian doing, is he targeted by the ghost for the second time?” Zhou Deng exclaimed urgently: “He’s being erased… it’s over, the second ghost is going to appear.”

“Last time I triggered the medium, hunted by the ghost’s medium, failed to use the Firewood Knife. This time is different. Despite the vengeful ghost’s attack, I must dismember this ghost.” Yang Jian’s Firewood Knife immediately hacked down.

The chop was fierce.

Directly splitting the old man’s medium into two.

Yet, the split medium did not disappear, still existing before him.

Simultaneously, Yang Jian’s erasure didn’t reverse, continuing.

This process seemingly couldn’t reverse, couldn’t stop; even the Firewood Knife hitting the medium was ineffective.

“How could this be, how could it be like this?” Yang Jian widened his eyes, appearing in disbelief.

For the first time.

This was the first time the Firewood Knife dismembered a vengeful ghost without stopping the ghost’s attack.

Moreover, the old man approaching wasn’t affected at all.

As if the Firewood Knife’s curse was isolated, failed to affect another medium.

Or perhaps, each old man was an individual, and Yang Jian’s Firewood Knife could only dismember the ghost within the medium before him, unable to impact any other ghost.

“Reboot!”

Yang Jian was shocked and frightened; he didn’t dare continue fighting, as he would surely be erased if he did. Although he was now a Ghost Shadow and couldn’t truly die, the ghost could still erase his body and invade the real world.

This situation must never occur.

Facing a single ghost was already unmanageable, much less two vengeful ghosts.

Under the reboot.

His state regressed.

The Firewood Knife’s curse wound on Yang Jian had just appeared before disappearing; the erasure signs halted and reversed, his skin gradually returning to normal, while the old man in the medium rapidly vanished…

Because of the failure to erase, the medium couldn’t invade the real world.

In other words, Yang Jian, after failing, now had a chance to start from scratch.

All abnormalities vanished.

Yang Jian stood still, unharmed, everything reverted to before he acted.

“Can’t trigger the medium to use the Firewood Knife anymore; even using it fails to address this situation, Coffin Nail certainly has a use, but the Coffin Nail can’t touch this vengeful ghost…” At this moment, Yang Jian found the situation incredibly tricky.

He felt no method could affect this old man.

Yang Jian involuntarily recalled what the Republic of China Period woman had said about him in the old house before.

His level was too low.

Now it seems that what that woman from the Republic of China Period said might be true.

Faced with this level of terrifying ghost, he has no means of coping, even the supernatural artifacts he usually relies on will fail.

After all, many supernatural artifacts were made by those ghost tamers from the Republic of China Period.

The people who could create these supernatural items have now died, and their ghosts have revived, surely their terror surpasses the supernatural artifacts they crafted in life.

“What to do?”

Cold sweat was appearing on Yang Jian’s forehead as he retreated, because the old man in front of him was slowly approaching, continuously getting closer.

“Did the attempt fail?”

The others saw it all, though many supernatural phenomena were unclear, they understood that Yang Jian must be trying something when the second old man tried to infiltrate just now but vanished in the end, but it didn’t have much effect so he was forced to give up.

“Try this red balloon, see if it works?” Yang Xiaohua said cautiously, her expression tense.

Li Yang immediately said: “It’s useless, this red balloon needs to touch the ghost to be effective, but this old man is untouchable, if he could be touched, the red balloon wouldn’t be needed. One Coffin Nail from the Captain could just nail this ghost down.”

“Damn it, why are there so many variables in this letter delivery mission, last time it was the ghost in room 301, this time it is too.”

They knew that the current methods couldn’t deal with the ghost from room 301, so after delivering the letter last time, they immediately left Dachuan City and directly sealed that area to prevent the ghost from roaming out.

But last time conditions allowed them to avoid direct confrontation with the ghost.

This time is different.

The ghost has blocked their path, the corpse in the red coffin is starting to become abnormal and restless, if the coffin isn’t buried soon, the danger will increase.

“I can go over and hold off that ghost for a while but not for long.” Leuk Qingqing chose to step out after a moment of silence.

“During this time, you must find a way, otherwise, everyone could die here.”

She felt that she had to seize the time now, or there would be no chance at all.

If Yang Jian is eliminated, this letter delivery mission will definitely fail.

Not just because of the red letter on Yang Jian, but more importantly, only Yang Jian could deal with the danger under these circumstances, others could only help on the side.

Leuk Qingqing walked over.

The cheongsam she wore seemed radiantly red in the dim environment, showing no trace of fear as she proactively approached the old man.

Yang Jian was forced back.

Leuk Qingqing decided to intervene and buy time.

The next moment.

The old man stopped his footsteps then turned to face the close Leuk Qingqing.

The red cheongsam was so striking, her tall and graceful figure so perfect, forming a sharp contrast with the dead and hunched old man.

The old man made no move.

Leuk Qingqing made no move.

But the supernatural change appeared.

The red cheongsam on Leuk Qingqing dimmed, grew old… like it was rapidly oxidizing, no longer so vibrant.

The old man chose to erase Leuk Qingqing.

But the erasure process was slow.

That cheongsam was special, it could withstand the erosion of supernatural powers, allowing Leuk Qingqing to hold on for a while.

“Making a move at this time?” Yang Jian stopped his steps and saw Leuk Qingqing’s action.

No sense of being moved at all.

Everyone’s fighting desperately to survive.

This is just temporary cooperation; if anyone hesitates and retreats now, the final outcome will be everyone dying together.

Having come this far, those who survive can’t be shortsighted.

“How long can you hold?” Yang Jian asked.

“Not sure, maybe three minutes, maybe five minutes, you must find a way before I die, or once I’m gone, you know what the consequences will be.” Leuk Qingqing took a deep breath, she stood before the old man without moving, which was already the greatest use.

Diverting the old man’s attack focus, buying Yang Jian time.

Yang Jian didn’t speak, immediately circled around the old man and Leuk Qingqing on the path.

In passing, he picked something up from the ground.

An old, faded-looking doll.

It seemed to be in a deep sleep, eyes closed, unable to open again for a while.

Clearly.

The time this doll could hold out had passed, otherwise Yang Jian wouldn’t have been so easily targeted by the ghost again.

Yang Jian swiftly returned to the vicinity of the red coffin and reunited with Zhou Deng, Li Yang, and Yang Xiaohua.

“Captain.” Li Yang called, his eyes already conveying lots of information.

Yang Jian said nothing, just glanced at the red balloon in Yang Xiaohua’s hand, then the red coffin, and finally looked at Zhou Deng…

All the information connected, he quickly thought, formulating a countermeasure.

“It’s pointless, I’ve been thinking of a way, but up to now, I haven’t thought of a good solution, none of my supernatural powers can affect the ghost present, maybe we’ll really be stuck and killed by this ghost here.” Zhou Deng understood Yang Jian’s message, shaking his head, indicating he also had no solution.

“Bang!”

While speaking, a loud bang echoed from the red coffin on the ground, causing the coffin to shake.

The corpse inside grew increasingly restless.

Yang Xiaohua glanced over, her eyes shrinking, feeling a chill all over.

Indeed, trouble comes in pairs.

The blocking ghost hasn’t been dealt with, the coffin is also unsettled now.

“If one person could lead this ghost away, maybe it’s a way.” Yang Jian’s eyes shifted, proposing a very grim plan.

A person needs to be sacrificed to lead the ghost off the path, avoiding direct confrontation.

But under these circumstances, almost nobody would volunteer.

“That’s a good idea.” Zhou Deng stroked his chin.

He saw no problem with the suggestion.

In this situation, necessary sacrifices were understandable.

“But this method requires someone very important to execute; Yang Xiaohua is unsuitable, she would be erased instantly, basically suicide, Li Yang can’t act swiftly enough, so only I, you, or Leuk Qingqing can be chosen.” Yang Jian said coldly.

“Yang Jian, I won’t do such a thing, I can help you buy time, but I absolutely won’t die for you.” Leuk Qingqing gritted her teeth.

Clearly she heard the words behind her.

“So it’s just you and me left.” Yang Jian looked at Zhou Deng.

This operation must be voluntary.

Cannot be forced.

“Throw dice to decide then, so no one can regret.” Yang Jian took out a red dice.

Zhou Deng shook his head: “No need, I’ll go, Captain Yang, you’re a Captain Level figure, burying here isn’t right, I’m just an insignificant person, dying here wouldn’t matter.”

He, in a change of heart, unexpectedly agreed to the task.
